Justin Hall Box Set Books 1-3 – a review by Rosemary Kenny
A great value-for-money box set of Ethan Jones’ hero Justin Hall’s adventures 1-3:
1) Canadian Asset:
Justin Hall #1 by Ethan Jones, is a re-titled update from Arctic Wargame to Canadian Assassin.
Justin and fellow-agent Carrie are both part of the CIS, (supposedly the Canadian version of the FBI).
When unidentified warships are spotted off the Canadian coastline, Carrie and Justin are sent to investigate and report to their superiors. Instead they end up taking on around 100 (luckily badly trained), Russian enemy troops thus ensuring national safety and peace reign once again.
2) Tripoli’s Target:
Justin Hall and Carrie O’Connor are in the thick of adventure and danger once more. This time the target is a head of state, due to take part in the G20 conference of VIPs and diplomats in Tripoli. Can the CIS Agents untangle the dark web of mystery and betrayal, in time to save the target?
Who’s ordered the contract hit?
What happens during ‘trial run’ detonations at various hotels where diplomats will be staying?
Who do Carrie and Justin end up working with?
3) Iranian Protocol:
Formerly known as Fog of War, Iranian Protocol has the usual fast-paced, all-action starring CSI Agent Justin Hall and sidekick Carrie O’Connor.
This time Ethan Jones’ heroes are sent to intervene, when the defection of an Iranian scientist starts to fall apart. However, Justin’s betrayed by a traitor on his own side, that puts his life in repeated danger when he becomes the target.
Each book got better.
You can not go wrong with any book written by Ethan Jones as they all are filled with action and great writing.It is hard to write a review of Ethan’s books because they are all great. This box set will give you plenty for a very cheap price. After reading this box set you will be an enthusiastic supporter of Ethan James. There is everything you would want in this set. Action from start to finish and the characters are wonderful. Mystery, suspense, and a hole lot of action.
A great series. On to book four. 🙂
Decently entertaining with action all over the globe.
A great action-packed BoxSet and a terrific introduction to both the characters and the author. Plenty of action, likeable characters. Set in the freezing Arctic, the storyline is intriguing and contains plenty of action, and some well developed, engaging characters. Added enjoyment having the saga play out in the Arctic Circle, so that Justin and Carrie have to battle it as well as the protagonists. A hard to put down series! I’m definitely going to follow the whole series. I highly recommend it!
Learned a lot about world geography as an ongoing part of this book, along with a good story line.
Arctic Wargame
I’ve had the great good fortune to read both the original book and this new updated edition. I thought the original was fantastic, and this is even better. I think I have to blame my inner critic. When I don’t like a book, she has no problems coming up with all kinds of things to say. But if I really enjoyed a novel, I’m often left speechless when it comes time to write a review, and this time’s no different. I could say that Arctic Wargame is fast paced, with complex characters, and an engaging plot, but I’m pretty sure everyone else is going to say that too. So, how about my take on “is a Canadian spy believable?” I suspect this is the true beauty of the Canadian security and intelligence communities. Our global reputation is just too ‘nice’ for us to stoop to levels this sneaky. And if we do make some terrible international faux pas, we could be mistaken for another nationality whose reputation is less pristine. Besides, we’re always the first ones to say “sorry”. I can’t wait to see what Justin and Carrie are up to next.
Tripoli’s Target
Justin and Carrie are back at it and they’re better than ever. A non-stop, roller-coaster ride of firefights, explosions, and traitors. Tripoli’s Target kept me turning pages to see what would happen next. And it will keep me turning all the way into the next book, and the one after that, and the one after that, and so on, and so on. An excellent follow-up to Arctic Wargame.
Fog of War
This book is a non-stop roller coaster ride of action and intrigue from the very first page with enemies, both known and unknown, around every corner. The plots and sub-plots kept me anxiously flipping pages to see what would happen next. A satisfying read that’s left me ready to see what the next mission brings for Justin and Carrie.
I received complimentary copies of the individual books from the author.
Arctic Wargame is, in every sense of the word, a thriller set along the Davis Strait in the far northeast of Canada. The plot is consistent & clever. Arctic Wargame steadily builds to a satisfying climax without ever forgetting that this is a thriller that has to continue to drive to that climax. The interesting twist is that the main characters are Canadian who denounce the United States at every opportunity, so many books are so oriented in the US that we, as readers, sometimes forget there are other nations out there with differing points of view.
Tripoli’s Target is, in every sense of the word, a thriller set in the Middle East. With each book he writes Ethan Jones contimues to polish his craft, with this book being better written & more satisfying than was Arctic Wargame. Tripoli’s Target steadily builds to a climax without ever forgetting that this is a thriller that has to continue to drive to that climax. The interesting twist is that the main characters are Canadian who denounce the United States at every opportunity, so many books are so oriented in the US that we, as readers, sometimes forget there are other nations out there with differing points of view.
Fog of War is, in every sense of the word, a thriller set in varying locations around the globe. With each book he writes, Ethan Jones continues to polish his craft, with this book being better written & more satisfying than were his first two. Fog of War seems longer than his first two books but steadily builds to a climax. The interesting twist is that the main characters are Canadian although that is not as apparent in this book as in his earlier books. A very good read I look forward Jones’ next novel.
This set consists of the Justin Hall Spy
Books #1 thru 3.
My reviews for each are as follows:
ARCTIC WARGAME
Welcome to the world of espionage, devious
planning, courage, fear, betrayal and adventure
involving the Canadian Intelligence Secret Service.
We will travel with Justin Hill, Canadian
Intelligence Service Agent who has just
escaped from a Libyan jail when his mission
went awry. Now to redeem himself, Justin volunteers
to go to the Artic where two unidentified icebreakers
appear in the Canadian waters north of the Artic.
His investigative team is made up of Carrie O’Connor
his partner , Alisha Gunn who is the chief of the
Defense Intelligence Section and Anna Worthley,
who is attached to the Canadian legal services.
This is the introductory book in the Justin Hall spy series.
It is action packed with unique characters. I especially
enjoyed meeting the Artic inhabitants and the loyalty
they had for each other.
I also enjoyed learning more about Artic geography.
The plot moves along smoothly even with twists and
turns used to enhance the story. Plan on reading in one
or two sessions as the story will hold you capture until
the end.
The first six chapters of the next Justin Hall series,
Tripoli’s Target is included at the end of this book.
I had to quick downloaded this second book in the
series to continue the story.
…….
TRIPOLI’S TARGET

Carrie O’Connor, are sent to meet with an Arab Sheikh
who heads a terrorist group. Their boss, Claire Johnson
sets up this meeting because the Sheikh has important
information to convey.
Situation oes awry at the meeting with heavy gunfire,
from the ground and air. Luck stays with Justin & Carrie
and they barely escape. Their boss then directs them to
go to Tripoli.
A plot to attack the US President is discover but Justin
and Carrie find clues that this is not as things appear.
Then their boss severely restricts the effectiveness of the
agents to follows their leads.
This action pact, fast paced thriller takes place in Libya
and Tripoli.The author has you traveling right along with the
characters. You see what they see. You feel what they feel,
learn the secret plans when they do & you dare to rush into
situations with them even when you are not sure who to believe.
This is the second book in the Justin Hall series and is able
to be a stand alone story. Tripoli’s Target is an exciting,
quick read. Enjoy!!
……
FOG OF WAR
This is the first book I have read of Ethan Jones.
Although part of a series, it stands as a read alone
also. The book has an interesting plot with very well
defined characters.
You travel with the characters through the Middle
East,Canada, the United States, Somalia and Moscow.
The story is about Canadian operatives sent on
missions that get compromised.
Who is able to get inside information about their
covert operations? Who has ordered the execution
of the intelligence operator, Justin Hall?
The story is fast paced, with subplots weaved into the
main plot keep the reader on their toes as not to miss
a clue but be able to travel along with Justin and his
partner Carrie O’Connor. Carrie is the common sense
person that mediates the explosive and emotional
reactions Justin has to many situations.
Traitors, arms smuggling and terrorists throughout
the book.
Justin’s needs to go rogue and work with the Russian mob
to avoid any needless killing since he is the target of
the traitor.
I loved when got Justin aboard an airplane that was fit
for a king during the story. That’s the way to fly!!
This story is anything but predictable which keeps you
on the edge until the end.
If you like intriguing, adventure, anything out of the norm,
you will be swept right into this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!!
I so liked Justin and Carrie as characters that I now am on book 13 in the series! It is also great to have a spy thriller that focuses on the Canadian intelligence organization.
Only ok
Loved it
O
This series really surprised me! The writing was excellent and so realistic, I was checking my teeth for sand. It was so good, I bought the 4th book in the series. To say it was a “page
-turner” really doesn’t do it justice. Can hardly wait to read all this author’s books!
Could be good example of greed all over the world and the sickos we have to live with. Great read.
Very slow, tough to keep interested
Seemed a bit unbelievable
